Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2023–2024 and 2024-25 at the NRM Block, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (Uttar Pradesh), to investigate the Effect of Vermicompost on yield and Yield attributing characteristic of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with Thirteen treatment and three replications. Treatment combination is prepared with graded doses of (100%, 75% and 50%) RDF (N:P:K:S-80:40:40:20) applied with different types of vermicompost. Different types of Vermicompost is prepared through organic raw materials Viz.- Cow dung (V1), Paddy Straw (V2), Moong Straw (V3) and Carton (V4).  Vermicompost (V1, V2, V3, and V4) applied at the rate of 2 tons/ha with all the treatment. The results indicated that the application of T4 (RDF 100% + vermicompost @ 2tons ha⁻¹) significantly enhanced yield attributes and seed yield 26.03 q ha⁻¹, 23.78 q ha⁻¹, with corresponding gross returns of ₹153992.58 ha⁻¹, 148953.50 and net returns of ₹ 90575.78 ha⁻¹, compared to the T1 control (RDF 100%) in the average data of both the year (2023-2024, 2024-25).
